Milena Gyurova

Stara Zagora, November 2011: Milena Gyurova sang in the gala with which the State Opera there marked Anna Tomowa-Sintow's forty-five years on stage, an evening she shared with Niko Isakov and with Tomowa-Sintow herself. Gyurova came to singing from dance, finishing ballet school in Berlin and working in the company of the Chemnitz opera before taking her degree in opera singing at the Maastricht academy in 2006 with Yvonne Schiffelers, and she worked in the masterclasses of Gena Dimitrova and Anna Tomowa-Sintow. She made her operatic debut in Die Zauberflöte at La Monnaie in Brussels, sang in Luxembourg and with the Flemish Opera in Antwerp and Ghent, reached the Vienna Chamber Opera in 2009, and in 2010 sang Woglinde in Das Rheingold at the Sofia National Opera, with two further Ring roles after it.
